Nantang Old Street was recently listed among the second batch of national nighttime culture and tourism consumption agglomeration zones, local media reported.

The street is the only one from Ningbo, East China's Zhejiang province to make the list released by the Ministry of Culture and Ministry.

With a history of more than 500 years, Nantang Old Street is one of the eight historic blocks in Ningbo and also the only block in the city that reflects the unique living environment of a water town in Jiangnan, a region in the south of the Yangtze River. 

Filled with stalls selling trinkets and delicious traditional cuisine, the street is also home to the former residence of Yuan Muzhi, a renowned filmmaker.

In 2021, Nantang Old Street was honored as a provincial high-end pedestrian street, along with Laowaitan, also known as the Old Bund.
